Private GP for UTI and cystitis in Lurgan
A urinary tract infection can wreck a day. Burning, frequency, going little and often, or a sudden fever with loin pain should not wait for a routine NHS slot. A GMC-registered GP in Lurgan can assess you the same day or next day, decide if antibiotics are justified, and tell you honestly when this is not a simple UTI.
Alongside the NHS, not instead of it. Keep your NHS GP. Call 999 in an emergency. Friends Medical GP is for planned private appointments and home visits that are not emergencies.

What happens in the appointment
- The GP takes a history: how long, what you have already tried, and whether this has happened before.
- They examine you if needed and may dip a urine sample in clinic.
- If antibiotics are justified, you leave with a private prescription and clear safety-netting.
- If this does not look like a simple UTI, they will say so and arrange tests, a home visit, or NHS urgent care.
Clinic, online, or at home
A first UTI in a woman can sometimes be assessed by video. Fever, loin pain, pregnancy, symptoms in a man or a child, or repeated infections are better seen face to face in Lurgan. If you cannot travel, request a GP home visit.
After you leave
Drink, rest, and finish any course you are given. If you are no better in 48 hours, or you spike a fever, call us or use NHS 111. We can share a summary with your NHS GP if you ask us to. Sexual health testing stays with Friends Medical Service if that is the right next step.
FAQs
Can a private GP prescribe antibiotics for a UTI?
Yes, when they are clinically justified. We do not issue antibiotics on request. The GP will explain why they are, or are not, the right step.
Do I need a urine sample?
Bring a sample if you can. It is not always required. The GP will tell you if we need a lab test as well as a clinic dip.
What if I cannot get to Lurgan?
Book an online GP or request a home visit. Home visits start from £175 in our core towns around Craigavon.
Related problems we see
Sore throat and tonsillitis
A sore throat that stops you swallowing, talking or sleeping is miserable. Tonsillitis, glandular fever lookalikes, and simple viral throats all walk through the same door. The job is to examine you, rule out the dangerous causes, and treat what we find.
Cough and chest infection
A cough that has gone past a cold, green sputum, a wheeze, or a temperature that will not settle is a common reason people book a private GP. You get time, a chest examination, and a decision about inhalers, antibiotics, steroids, or tests.
Anxiety, stress and low mood
Anxiety, stress and low mood are among the commonest reasons people pay for a longer GP appointment. You get a quiet room, more than ten minutes, and a doctor who can issue a fit note, review medication, or write to your NHS GP. This is not a crisis service and it is not a replacement for talking therapies.
